Given the stamp of approval by the reigning king and queen of contemporary country- Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton who act as producers on McCoy's first album in five years--the neo-traditionalist honky tonker should get some well deserved recognition...

After a long and steady career with various Warner Music's labels (Warner Brothers, Atlantic, etc), Neal McCoy moved from that label to his own label and released an album on his own before finding a new home with Blaster Records. The album XII (Twelve) represents the 12th album of his career and it also finds him doing what he does best, performing nimble mainstream country music tunes as good as anything else on the marketplace...

Neal McCoy's fourth album, You Gotta Love That!, is a testimonial to the Nashville assembly line: an inoffensive voice, well-crafted songs, and sparkling production, resulting in some perfectly forgettable product. And it'll probably sell a millionfor just those reasons.

With barely a nod to "Wink" and his other riff-happy hits, McCoy fills this album with quality material and digs into it with some of his finest singing to date. Aside from one novelty number, the goofball romp "Elvis in the Airport," these are straightforward songs, most of them adorned with melodies and chord changes any singer would adore...
